Thank you very much, z0s0, Platinum and earther, that's a pretty healthy sized database. I have a couple more questions as well, if you don't mind.

1) Does SitePoint have their own server?

2) How far back do the posts go? How many years' worth of postings are in the database?

3) Does SitePoint ever "prune" their database, i.e. get rid of old posts?

Thanks again, I may have a couple more questions later as well. The reason for these questions is because I am going to be setting up a forum pretty soon, and it has the potential of becoming fairly large (well, we'll see how it goes), and SitePoint is the best forum I've been a part of. The amount of involvement of the community is amazing, the degree of curtesy that is maintained is particularly striking (I've never seen a curse word, and only one real insult since I've been here), and the database of information collected is surprisingly comprehensive. You have it all! So, needless to say your forum is my mentor, and that's why I'm asking all the questions!
